what do you mean you can't get the ww lip? We've had a group buy going for weeks .$60 cheaper than getting it through ww. Here's the linkhttps://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/wings-west-front-lip-groupbuy-1st-gen-acura-cl-330864/
Oh, and Jimmy, you're my hero

So my girl keeps tellin me that I shouldn't do black with a polished lip like these, because it's "too much black" even though that's kind of the theme i'm going for. I think the polished lip compliments the silver acura "A's" and the trims around the windows. She keeps telling me to put my chrome enkei's on, but hey what do girl's know. But what do you guys think? I think the chrome would ruin the look i'm goin for, especially with the black ww lips and the c/f hood, plus they're only 17's. I want black wheels, but i'm torn, cuz she keeps tellin me I "need more silver" but what do girls know?
Here's a shitty pic of the chromies that I have, but I really am leanin toward black. And I think i'm gonna sell my 5 lug conversion.
17" Enkei spiders, they don't even make these anymore, but now that i'm doin the hood, tint and lips, I don't think chrome would look right, opinions?

sound like u got an understanding gf, even tho she got no taste. my gf soon to be wife, trip everytime i bring up anything about buying parts for the CL. we're suppost to be saving up for a house and i've been talking about repainting my whole car and a new set of times.
btw, hows that 5 lug conversion work? i got a set of black 18" 5-lugs like Klepto sitting at the house.

Ditch those chromes, you definately want the black on clack... That is so fucking hot. Nice look for your whip. I would like to have seen your's, Klepto's, Agranado's and crackhead's, oops I mean Ayougo's cars next to one another... That would be the sickest. Sadly to say, I think the look of the CF hood would be pretentious on the Mistress, but I don't know. I still gotta get my new spoiler painted and mounted, and the chips and stuff fixed on my paint job. It will run me around $400. Wow, just shy of the cost of a CF hood... Shoot.

She understands my hobby/addiction, but she def gets on me everytime parts show up(which is all the time
) And why you hatin on my black wheels that I want if you got the same ones as klepto, the ones i want look a lot like klepto's, bit of a different style though. I am sellin my 4 lug to 5 lug conversion if anyone is interested. They're custom made spacers (you can't buy these anywhere) they were custom machined. The do a 4x114.3" patter to a 5x114.3" pattern. I'm lookin to sell them for $400 what I paid for them, if anyone's interested, pm me and i'll send pics. They're brand new, never installed.

Here's the back with our bolt pattern
Here's a shot of the 4 of em together right out of the box
Here's the 5 lug conversion, i unpacked them and sat them on the shelf, they're now packed back up in plastic, never been installed.
They space out your wheel about an inch, that's the only real problem with them, but if you put some fender flares or widebody which was my original intent, then no problems. I don't even think they will stick out beyond the wheel well that much, cuz there is an inch or two of overhang. Just gotta be careful when slamming with big wheels
Lemme know if anyone is interested, before I put em on ebay. Like I said, these are one of a kind and were specially machined for me by a company in Kentucky to my specifications. They're made for our lug pattern.

i dont know if u can open that nut by hand. u might need an impact gun to get that off. after they put it on they usually tap the nut on one edge to secure it in place. u'll know what i'm talking about once u look at it.

Got some pics of my tint up in my old photo thread, not quite as dark as the photoshop, but it looks damn good. I'll get some day shots up sometime this week when it stops raining
